| AGREEMENT STATE REPORT DUE TO LOST TROXLER DENSITY GAUGE |
| |
| "At about 4:45 PM [CST] our time last evening (12/16/02) we received a call |
| from PSI Corporate in Illinois. Their Colorado license number is 928-02 for |
| the Wheat Ridge Office. They reported a lost moisture-density gauge which |
| apparently fell out of the back of a truck on a highway construction project |
| located on Hwy 85, between Hwy 7 & 136th earlier in the day. According to |
| the RSO [Radiation Safety Officer], the technician admitted that the device |
| was not secured in the back of the truck during movement. It is not clear |
| yet whether the tailgate was down or not. PSI reported the gauge loss to |
| CSP [Colorado State Police] and Adam's County [Sheriff's Office]. They have |
| also issued a reward for the return of the device. Visual Inspection of the |
| shoulder and median failed to find the device, which was reported to be in |
| the case. RSO claims that the case is clearly marked with PSI's phone |
| number and address, and is properly labeled according to regulatory |
| requirements. |
| |
| "It is a Troxler 3411-B, SN 12179." |
| |
| * * * UPDATE FROM PHIL EGIDI TO HOWIE CROUCH ON 12/18/02 AT 1136 EST * * * |
| |
| The Troxler Density Gauge has been found intact with the gauge still locked |
| in the storage case. External swipes showed no contamination. Unit is |
| being taken to Troxler repair center in Dallas for complete inspection. |
| |
| Headquarters Operations Officer notified NMSS (Fred Brown) and R4DO (Linda |
| Howell). |
